Heiji Monogatari

The Heiji Monogatari was an 1178 publication chronicling the events of the Heiji Rebellion, when Lord Yoshitomo sought to oust the corrupt cloistered Emperor but fell foul of Taira schemes. The Tale of the Heiji was told through book, voice, and painting, all of which were sponsored by the Minamoto for 1,000 koku to give the truth regarding the treachery of the Taira.
